Well I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday today!!! I know I did, an extra day off and boy did I ever need it that is for sure, but spent the day working on some projects that I needed to get done for a show for my local scrapbook store. So before I ended for the day I just had to get in one challenge and of course it had to be the Sugar Bowl. Kathy has a wonderful sketch this week and I sure enjoyed using it. The PLEASE INCLUDE option was pearls and I added those at the bottom of my photo corner. I used one of the newest images from Leanne Ellis called Dreamer, these are just so adorable. I colored her in with my copic's and my papers are from Cloud Nine, just love this set. The photo corner and wording is from SU and the flowers are from my retro punch along with the MS branch, with brads and spacers in the center.
Well going to get things cleaned up now I have to return to work tomorrow and those long days starting back again, but did have a nice break. Thanks so much for stopping bye and will be having some blog candy real soon just as soon as I get to the scrapbook store. Big Hugs

Grandkids

Hello everyone!! I sure hope you all had a great week and are enjoying your weekend so far. I don't have any cards to show you. Still am working 11 hour days and just don't have time to craft through the week or even get on the net as far as that goes.
This week was even busier for me, Had a few ballgames to go to after I got off work but forgot my camera (bad grandma) but then she also graduated from Kindergarten this week. I just can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast.
Kirstie stopped for a pose after getting her diploma

My Weekend!!

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! I know I did and I can say I did enjoy it. After all the long hours at work through the week, I got to have some me time and enjoy my grandson for a few hours and do some stamping for fun, Well that was after all the laundry, housework and mowing etc. But I did enjoy having some time just to play around.
I got to keep my little man Nathaniel for a few hours while his big sister had a ballgame. She is doing really good and is having a blast. This is her first year playing and she loves it. Nathaniel is growing like a weed now. He had lost a lot of weight but come to find out it was his formula so after they got him on the right stuff he sure is putting the weight on now. We are so glad to see him growing. He done a lot of sleeping while I had him lol.

Here is a close up of my little man!

My Time

I got my new Country Cousin's from Sugar Nellie in the mailbox this last week and finally got to play with them this weekend. So I have just had some me time and made a couple of cards. This one is called Country Garden and I have colored her with my copic's. I used K&Co paper and used my retro flower punches and MS leaf and branch punchs with brads and spacers in the center. I added some flat pearls to the top and I also added some raffia ribbon to the card that was given to me by a very dear friend.

Now this one is called Country Style from Sugar Nellie now isn't she adorable?? She is colored with my copic's also. I used the oval nestiblities from Spellbinders and my papers are from K&Co. Again I have used my retro flower punchs along with the MS branch and leaf punch with a button brad in the center. I added a corsage pin in the top and the bottom I glued metal corner piece on.

Now I decided while I was enjoying myself so that I would join in a few of the challenges,so here is a card for Stamp with Stampavie. I have used another one of the Country Cousins from Sugar Nellie. Stamp with Stampavie has a wonderful sketch by Mandy and I so loved making this one. Wonderful Mandy!!. This Sugar Nellie stamp is Painting Rainbows and I colored her with my copic's. My papers are K&Co and my flourish is a rub on from Holy Cow. My flowers are Prima and the branch and leaf punch is MS. I added some crystal brads to the card and my little flowers at the top are from my SU punch the create is from the T!m Holtz line.

Now look at this cute little feller!!!! This is one of the new stamps from the Whiff of Joy Stamp Kit!!! Elizabeth and Katharina outdone themselves I so love everyone of them. I sure hope you all got to order your stamp kit for it is just gorgeous. Here I used the Sketch Saturday sketch and made a card for my new little grandson to give to his daddy for his first father's day.I colored him with my copic's and added some SU buttons with stickles in the middle. The wording is from SU also as well as the border punch. The ribbon I added is just from my stash.

Now this is another one of the adorable stamps from Whiff of Joy Stamp Kit!!! Oh I so loved coloring this one I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers which was made by Claudia, wonderful dear. I colored this gorgeous image in with my copic's and spica glitter pens. I colored the strawberrys and cut them out and mounted them ontop of where my ribbon met. I used the circle nestibilites and the wording is also from the Whiff of Joy stamp kit.

Well I really am sorry I didn't get to everyone's blog this weekend to visit. I did manage to make it to a few but just needed to have some me time and needed to have some crafting time and enjoy my new stamps I had gotten. Well thank you all for stopping bye and have a great evening. Big hugs

Do Not Enter

Well I had a wonderful day today!!! I was off work and just had a me day just playing away in my craft room. I did manage to get a lot of DT cards done and a few challenge I wanted to join. And here is the last thing I got to make. This is for The Sugar Bowls project of the month. I used the adorable gorjuss girl and colored her in with my copic's. My paper is from the Paper Studio ,I covered the door knob die cut from Debbie's Die Cuts with the paper.
I made this for my granddaughter, this gorjuss girl looks just like her when she has an attitude lol So I put a DO Not Enter on the door knob, so when she is in her mood we don't enter lol I also used the bosskut flourish with some bling on it. The retro flower punch and the MS branch. Hope you all have a wonderfufl Mother's Day
